A quick hour

landed one, moved/missed several

A bit of travel

3 of us made a lengthy drive south to fish some stillwater. both streamers and mice produced a decent amount of fish including a couple over 20" but no real monsters. matt caught a really nice tiger and everything other then that were browns. since i drove solo, on the way home i decided to stopp by the river for an evening mouse session. landed one really nice brown

While the others slept...

...I crept out of the house and headed to the river for a couple of hours. 1st time its been fishable in awhile and it didnt disappoint. only fished a short section but saw some really nice fish. of course the bigger ones i hooked up with i lost....so it goes. i did cut my morning just a smidge short cause the flows got bumped up on me and the debris started flowing to much to deal with

The Meadows

Took my daughter for a drive to the mountains as kind of a recon trip. just curious if the lakes had thawed yet. they are all thawed in that area and we hit a few of them for a very short time each. it was a pretty windy and cold day but it was nice to be in the mountains again.

A busy week

Fishing that is. once again after work i headed out for an hour or two. caught one solid fish right off the bat then i didnt land anything else. i did miss 4 other fish that were all real solid

Making a few casts

After work i drove over to the river for a few to practice my casting.

The usual quickie

After work ill often head out for about an hour just for a quickie

A few hours

Met up with matt for a few hours in the canyon. it was nothing special but we did get into a few on mostly streamers but i also missed a couple on a mouse. also while walking the boulders along the shore i stumbled upon an appendage, maybe a raccoons.

A little boat ride

Nate picked me up in the morning and we headed to the lake to chase some tiger muskies. for most of the day the weather was great but at the end of our day the winds came. it was a weekend so there were quite a few boats on the water. i only had one follow on the day and nate had five, with one hook up that was short lived.

Dirtier waters

The water came up a bit and got diriter then the day before. it didnt seem to put the fish down at all as they were still all over a streamer. i started with a mouse but that didnt last long cause it just seemed a bit off for a mouse to me.

Mouse and stones

Went out for a minute. threw a mouse, got into a few fish. had a stud hooked for a split second then gone. saw some stones flying around

3 section day

Met up with matt at o'dark thirty. the 1st section we fished (done at 1030 am), was a pretty productive piece. lots of fish moving around. the 2nd section was considerably slower but then we were cut off by a dude at almost our get out point. matt called it a day after that but i wanted to look at another small piece since the water conditions had improved over the last few days. started with a streamer, got into a few and but fished that piece mostly with a mouse and in the last run i pulled a solid fish out with it.

Flows dropped

and the water cleared up. the flows dropped a bit and the water cleared up a little, not as much as id like but it was good enough for streamers. hit 2 different sections. moved some fish and landed a couple. always good to get out

Willard again

Headed back out with my daughter in tow. just another short outing on an hour or so. once again no wipers and  another smallie. man i have never caught so many smallies out there before

Mousing

To change things up, after work i took a drive to the moving water loaded with mice. took a minute but finally got some love. got blew up a couple times but finally got a hook up. not big but decent and on a mouse so its all good
